The memorandum is presented neutrally, with very little repudiation of the ideas it lists.  Instead, it calls for 'further study' on point after point.  Defenders of Planned Parenthood insist that Jaffe was merely listing proposals that were made by others, implying that Planned Parenthood itself was not considering any of them.  Critics counter that with copious illustrations where Planned Parenthood or its officials were actively engaged in such considerations.  The lingering question is:  "Just what did Planned Parenthood decide?"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://jaffememo.com/the-memo-in-context |title=Jaffe Memo 'basis for discussion' |publisher=Jaffememo.com |date= |accessdate=2016-05-01}}</ref>
